The current series of car registrations in Namibia is on a bright yellow number plate with black lettering and black border. The format of the number plate is L NNNNN LL, with ‘L’ standing for a letter and ‘N’ standing for a number. The last two letters denote the area the vehicle was registered in. Number plates for the diplomatic corps are red with white lettering and a white border. Older number plates were on a darker yellow background with two or three letters denoting the area of registration.
